It's my pleasure to announce that version v0.3 of Trojitá, a fast and
lightweight IMAP e-mail client based on the Qt library, is now available. For more details of what Trojitá is and who
should use it, please see below.

Changes since version v0.2.9.4

This release is a major one, bringing new features, plenty of bugfixes and two new contributors to the table. A quick
summary of what has happened:

Drastic reduction in memory usage

Tagging e-mails (contributed by Shanti Bouchez)

Faster fetching of data

Much more efficient support for threading

More robust IMAP support

A new Debug menu

Autocompletion of e-mail addresses (contributed by Thomas Gahr)

Reporting server/client configuration through ID

Support of multipart/related for full rfc2387 compliance

Showing Trojita's homepage on start

GUI fixes (now finally works in dark themes)

SMTP works over SSL (contributed by Shanti Bouchez)

Expanded unit test coverage

Plenty of bugfixes and further improvements

What is Trojitá

Trojitá is a very fast and lightweight IMAP e-mail client written using the Qt library.

What could make Trojitá interesting for you

It's a pure Qt4 application with no additional dependencies; it builds in two-and-half minutes on a five-year-old laptop

Robust IMAP core implemented using Qt's Model-View framework

Standards compliance is a design goal

On-demand message list and body part loading ("lazy loading")

Offline IMAP support

Support for bandwidth-saving mode aimed at mobile users with expensive connection

IMAP over SSH -- instead of going over an SSL socket, the server could be accessed via SSH

Safe and robust dealing with HTML mail

Please note that the "message sending" and "message composing" features of Trojitá are a bit lagging at this point
and therefore it is not recommended to use Trojitá for these tasks apart from testing.

Certain features of Trojitá depend on the IMAP server's functionality. Trojitá is written from the bottom-up as an
IMAP client and is designed around its feature set. For example, threaded message viewing (ie. "conversations") is
supported only if the server implements an appropriate extension for now.

Trojitá is under heavy development, features are added on almost daily basis and the codebase is rapidly maturing.
Certain useful features are still missing, there is no support for searching, for example. We have tickets opened for
these, so please Cc yourself at the task tracker if you
would like to follow the progress here.

Finally, as with any software, Trojitá has some bugs which are already known and reported in the issue tracker and
some which are still waiting for discovery. That said, it is safe to use to for *reading* mail. I've been doing that for
several years on a production account, and I have never lost a mail with Trojitá. Please do not send e-mails with
current version, though, as it is known to produce non-standard messages in certain circumstances.

Where I can get it

Our web has all the required information, but if you are
impatient and just want to grab the tarball for v0.3, download from Sourceforge:

Trojitá is known to work on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. It should also run on all platforms supported by Qt. A MeeGo
version is still pending, though.

Reporting bugs and wishes

Please use the Redmine portal to report issues with
Trojitá. If you do not want to be bothered by a registration, please at least send bug reports via e-mail or report them
at the #trojita IRC channel on Freenode.

Community

Trojita could always use more people in the community. Areas in which people are needed most, as well as general
guidelines about how we prefer to work are documented at the wiki.

Acknowledgment

A huge thank you goes to two new contributors who have submitted patches to make Trojitá better. It's my please to
introduce Shanti Bouchez who is responsible for the new feature of tagging messages (and fixed STARTTLS for SMTP
subscription in the process, among other things). The second contributor is Thomas Gahr who added e-mail auto-completion
and fixed bugs.

Since its inception in 2006, many other people have contributed to Trojitá as well. I'd like to mention patches from
Benson Tsai, John Rogelstad, Andrew Brouwers, Gil Moskowitz, Jiří Helebrant, Jun Yang, Justin J, and Tomáš Kouba, who
have all sent patches in. Finally, another huge thank you goes to anyone who has reported bugs or helped make Trojitá
better in any way.
